MAY IT PLEASE THE COURT:
NOW COMES APPELLANT, Bob Deuell (hereinafter "Appellant" and/or
"Deuell" and files this Appellant's Brief in accordance with the Texas Rules of
Appellate Procedure ("TRAP").
JURISDICTIONAL STATEMENT
This is an interlocutory appeal from an Order rendered by a district court
adverse to the Appellant by denying his Motion to Dismiss pursuant to Tex. Civ.
Prac. & Rem Code §27.003.
STATEMENT OF THE CASE
Appellee, Texas Right to Life Committee, Inc. filed a tortious interference
lawsuit against Appellant, Bob Deuell who was a sitting state Senator. The lawsuit
arises out of a series of political attack ads that were run by Appellee and the letters
written by Appellant's lawyer to the radio stations that were running the ads. These
letters complained of false and defamatory content and that the ads were illegal
because they did not contain the disclosures required by the Texas Election Code.
This is an appeal from a denial of a motion to dismiss the lawsuit pursuant to the
Texas Citizens Partition Act ("the TCPA").
Procedurally, Appellee's lawsuit was filed on June 5, 2014. [C.R. at 4]
However, Appellant was not served immediately. Appellant filed a timely Original
Answer on August 11, 2014. [C.R. at 11]. Defendant's Motion to Dismiss was filed
1
on September 5, 2014. [C.R. at 14] Defendant argued that the case must be dismissed
pursuant to Chapter 27 of the Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code because 1) the
complained of speech was on a matter of public concern and thus protected by
Defendant's free speech rights under the First Amendment to the United States
Constitution and Section 8, Article 1 of the Bill of Rights to the Texas Constitution
[C.R. at 15-16], 2) the affirmative defense of Judicial Privilege applied [C.R. at 16-
20], and 3) the affirmative defense of illegality applied. [C.R. at 20-21]. Appellant
timely set the Motion to Dismiss for hearing on September 26, 2014. [C.R. at 70].
On September 24, 2014, two days prior to the hearing on Appellant's Motion to
Dismiss, Appellee filed a First Amended Petition alleging a federal cause of action
pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 1983. [C.R. at 80]. Also on September 24, 2014, Plaintiff
filed its Response to Defendant's Chapter 27 Motion to Dismiss. [C.R. at 90].
Plaintiff only addressed Defendant's argument concerning Constitutionally
protected freedom of speech and did not address the affirmative defenses.
On September 25, 2014, Appellant filed a Notice of Removal and removed
the case to federal court. [C.R. at 99]. In order to maintain Defendant's Motion to
Dismiss, on October 15, 2014, Appellant filed Motions to Dismiss under Rule 12
and Chapter 27 of the Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code in federal court [C.R.
at 216]. Before the Court could rule on Appellant's Motions to Dismiss, Appellee
2
filed its Second Amended Complaint, voluntarily dismissing its federal cause of
action. [C.R. at 273] and filed its Motion to Remand. [C.R. at 281].
On December 23, 2014, the federal court remanded the case back to the trial
court. [C.R. at 364]. After remand, and without precedential guidance on Chapter
27 concerning the extension of time for a trial court to rule under these circumstances
on January 7, 2015, the Appellant filed a Notice of Interlocutory Appeal to this
Honorable Court, [C.R. at 367], under Case No. 01-15-00011-CV. Appellee's filed
Motion to Dismiss the Appeal for Want of Jurisdiction. On February 24, 2015, this
Court issued a Memorandum Opinion granting Appellee's Motion to Dismiss
because "the trial court below has neither denied Beuell 's (sic) section 27.003
motion to dismiss nor failed to rule on the motion within 30 days following the date
of a hearing on the motion, the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code does not
permit Beuell 's (sic) attempted interlocutory appeal."
Once this matter was remanded back to the trial court, Appellant immediately
set his Motion to Dismiss for hearing for March 16, 2015. [C.R. at 376]. However,
Appellee argued that until the Court issued a Mandate, Appellant's motion could not
be heard; therefore, the hearing was passed. On May 15, 2015, the Court issued the
Mandate on this matter. On May 18, 2015, Appellant's Motion to Dismiss was reset
to June 19, 2015. [C.R. at 378].
3
On June 19, 2015, Appellant's Motion to Dismiss was heard before the Hon.
Robert K. Schaffer. [R.R. at 1-27].
On July 1, 2015, Judge Schaffer issued an Order denying Appellant's Motion
to Dismiss. [C.R. at 380].
The trial court below erred in denying Appellant's Motion to Dismiss. The
trial court should have dismissed the tortious interference claim for three reasons:
First, the trial court should have dismissed Appellee's lawsuit because the
communications complained of were based on, related to and in response to
Appellant's exercise of the right of free speech.
Second, the trial court should have dismissed Appellee's lawsuit because
Appellant established the affirmative defense, by a preponderance of evidence, that
the communications complained of were privileged under the judicial privilege.
Finally the trial court should have dismissed Appellee's lawsuit because
Appellant established the affirmative defense, by a preponderance of evidence, that
the communications complained of were privileged because the contract that was
allegedly interfered with was for an illegal purpose.
ISSUES PRESENTED
1. Appellant's Motion to Dismiss pursuant to Chapter 27 of the Texas Civil
Practice & Remedies Code should have been granted because the
communications complained of related to Appellant's exercise of free
speech under the First Amendment of the United States Constitution and
Section 8, Article 1 of the Bill of Rights under the Texas Constitution.
4
2. Appellant's Motion to Dismiss pursuant to Chapter 27 of the Texas Civil
Practice & Remedies Code should have been granted because Appellant
established the affirmative defense of judicial privilege by a
preponderance of the evidence.
3. Appellant's Motion to Dismiss pursuant to Chapter 27 of the Texas Civil
Practice & Remedies Code should have been granted because Appellant
established the affirmative defense of illegal contract by a preponderance
of the evidence.
STATEMENT OF FACTS
Appellee's lawsuit alleges only one cause of action, that being that Appellant
tortuously interfered with Plaintiffs contracts to run certain radio ads with Cumulus
Media and Salem Communications. [C.R. at 4, 273 and 281].
The ads in question were aired during the lead up to the Texas Republican
Primary runoff election held on May 27, 2014. [C.R. at 24, 25 and 26] The ads were
political ads that Appellant believes misrepresented the purpose and effect of certain
legislation sponsored by Appellant as a State Senator for the State of Texas. That
bill was Senate Bill 303 which was designed to add more protection to human life
than the existing Texas Advance Directives Act of 1999. The ads contained what
Appellant believes to be false information about Senate Bill 303 and false and
defamatory information regarding Appellant.
Appellee's ads also violated the Texas Election Code in that they did not
contain the disclosures required by Texas Election Code 255.001.
5
In an exercise of Appellee's free speech rights under the First Amendment of
the United States Constitution and Section 8, Article 1 of the Bill of Rights contained
in the Texas Constitution, Appellant's lawyers, acting on his behalf, wrote letters to
the broadcasters explaining in detail why the ads in question contained false and
defamatory information and did not contain the proper disclosures required by Texas
Election Code 255.001. [C.R. at 27-64] These letters also threatened legal action if
the ads were not edited to omit the defamatory content and to include the disclosures
required by the Texas Election Code. [C.R. at 27-64].
STANDARD OF APPELLATE REVIEW
In order to obtain a dismissal under Chapter 27 of the Texas Civil Practice &
Remedies Code, a defendant must show 'by a preponderance of evidence that the
legal action is based on, relates to, or is in response to the party's exercise of the
right of free speech; the right to petition; or the right of association." Tex. Civ. Prac.
& Rem. Code § 27 .005(b). This determination is reviewed de novo as an application
of law to the facts. See Better Business Bureau of Metropolitan Houston, Inc. v.
John Moore Serv., Inc., 441 S.W.3d 345, 353 (Tex. App.-Houston [1st Dist] 2013,
pet. denied).
The Court may not dismiss the action ifthe non-movant can establish, by clear
and specific evidence, a prima facie case for each essential element of the claim in
question. Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code§ 27.005(c).
6
"Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsection (c), the court shall dismiss a
legal action against the moving party if the moving party establishes by a
preponderance of the evidence each essential element of a valid defense to the
nonmovant's claim." Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code§ 27.005(d).
"In determining whether a legal action should be dismissed under this chapter,
the court shall consider the pleadings and supporting and opposing affidavits stating
the facts on which the liability or defense is based." Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code
§ 27.006(a).
SUMMARY OF THE ARGUMENT
1. Free Speech: The TCPA defines "the exercise of the right of free speech" as
"a communication made in connection with a matter of public concern." Tex. Civ.
Prac. & Rem. Code§ 27.001(3). A sitting State Senator commenting on legislation
he sponsored in the Texas Senate is pure political speech and exactly the kind of free
speech that the TCPA was designed to protect. Such comments were about a matter
of public concern (the election contest and the intent and effect of Senate Bill 303)
as defined in Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code § 27.001(3). The trial court
should have dismissed Appellee's lawsuit because Appellant proved by a
preponderance of the evidence that Appellee's lawsuit was based on Appellant's
exercise of his right of free speech. See Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code §
27.005(1). If Appellant met his burden, then the burden shifts to Appellee to
7
establish, by clear and specific evidence, a prima facie case for each element of the
claim in question. Appellee was unable to meet this burden because Appellee failed
to attach copies of the alleged contracts that were subject to interference and the only
affidavit evidence attached to Appellee's response to the Motion to Dismiss fails to
provide clear and specific evidence.
2. Judicial Immunity: Regardless of whether Appellee was able to establish a
prima facie case for each element of its tortious interference claim, the TCPA
requires that the Court dismiss an Appellee's legal action against Appellant because
Appellant established by a preponderance of the evidence each essential element of
the valid defense of judicial immunity. Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code§ 27.00S(d).
The Court could only look to the pleadings and the affidavits on file, so the
unchallenged allegations regarding the judicial immunity defense and the
unchallenged Affidavit of Scott M. Tschirhart are the only evidence on this matter
available to the Court. Therefore, the defense of judicial immunity was established
by a preponderance of the evidence and the Court should have granted Appellant's
Motion to Dismiss.
3. Illegal Contract: Regardless of whether Appellee was able to establish a
prima facie case for each element of its tortious interference claim, the TCPA
requires that the Court dismiss an Appellee's legal action against Appellant because
Appellant established by a preponderance of the evidence each essential element of
8
the valid defense of illegal contract. Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code§ 27.005(d). The
Court could only look to the pleadings and the affidavits on file, so the unchallenged
allegations regarding the illegal contract defense and the unchallenged Affidavit of
Scott M. Tschirhart are the only evidence on this matter available to the Court.
Therefore, the defense of illegal contract was established by a preponderance of the
evidence and the Court should have granted Appellant's Motion to Dismiss.
ARGUMENTS AND AUTHORITIES
1. Appellant's Motion to Dismiss pursuant to Chapter 27 of the Texas Civil
Practice & Remedies Code should have been granted because the
communications complained of related to Appellant's exercise of free
speech under the First Amendment of the United States Constitution and
Section 8, Article 1 of the Bill of Rights under the Texas Constitution.
Exercise of Free Speech
"Exercise of the right of free speech" means a communication made in
connection with a matter of public concern.
Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code§ 27.001(3)
"Communication" includes the making or submitting of a statement or
document in any form or medium, including oral, visual, written,
audiovisual, or electronic.
Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code§ 27.001(1)
Appellant hired an attorney to send letters to Cumulus Media and Salem
Communications in order to complain about certain political attack ads that
misrepresented the purpose and effect of certain legislation sponsored by Appellant
9
as a State Senator for the State of Texas. [C.R. at 27-64]. That bill was Senate Bill
303 which was designed to add more protection to human life than the existing Texas
Advance Directives Act of 1999. The ads in question were aired during the lead up
to the Texas Republican Primary runoff election held on May 27, 2014. The ads
contained false information about Senate Bill 303 and false and defamatory
information regarding Appellant.
Appellant's attorney wrote a series of letters to Cumulus Media and Salem
Communications demanding that they cease and desist in running the false and
defamatory ads. [C.R. at 27-64]. A sitting State Senator commenting on a matter of
public concern, in this case commenting on political ads that contained false and
defamatory information related to the Senator and legislation that he sponsored in
the Texas Senate, is pure political speech. This is exactly the kind of speech that the
TCPA is designed to protect. Appellee's lawsuit is designed specifically to
discourage candidates and office holders from opposing Appellee in any way or even
to question the legality of their ads. As the Affidavit of Scott M. Tschirhart shows,
the scripts were changed to delete certain defamatory and false information and
modified to include the language required by the Texas Election Code. [C.R. at 65].
Appellant established, based on a preponderance of the evidence, that the
communications complained of involve the exercise of the right of free speech as
required by Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code §27.005(b)(l). Therefore the
10
Court should have dismissed Appellee's lawsuit. In connection with the dismissal,
the Court should have awarded attorneys' fees and costs to Appellant as set forth in
Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code§ 27.009 or remand the case back to the trial
court to make a determination of the proper measure of attorneys' fees and costs to
be awarded to Appellant.
Shift of Burden
Since Appellant has established that the communications complained of
involve the exercise of the right of free speech, the burden shifted to Appellee to
establish, by clear and specific evidence, all of the elements of a cause of action for
tortious interference with contact. Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem Code §27.005(c).
In determining whether a legal action should be dismissed under this
chapter, the court shall consider the pleadings and supporting and
opposing affidavits stating the facts on which the liability or defense is
based.
Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code §27.006(a).
In order to establish a cause of action for tortious interference, a plaintiff must
prove (1) that a contract subject to interference exists; (2) that the defendant
committed a willful and intentional act of interference with the contract; (3) that the
plaintiff sustained actual damages or loss. See ACS Investors, Inc. v. McLaughlin,
943 S.W.2d 426, 430 (Tex. 1997). In order to avoid dismissal pursuant to the TCPA,
a plaintiff must establish each of these elements by clear and specific evidence. Tex.
11
Civ. Prac. & Rem Code§ 27.005(c). The only evidence submitted by Appellee in
the present case is the Affidavit of James J. Graham. [C.R. at 95].
Appellee fails to establish the first element; that a contract subject to
interference exists, because the Affidavit of James J. Graham is conclusory and does
not reference the terms of any specific contract(s). There simply is no clear and
specific evidence that the contract( s) exist. Because Appellee failed to attach copies
of the alleged contracts, there is no way to determine that the contracts are not subject
to interference. See ACS Investors, Inc. v. McLaughlin, 943 S.W.2d 426, 43l(Tex.
1997)(finding that the express terms of the contract in question showed that it was
not subject to tortious interference allegations, and therefore the defendant could not
have interfered as a matter of law.). Absent the express language of the alleged
contracts, there is no clear and specific evidence that the alleged contracts are not
subject to interference or that Appellee is even a party to said contract(s).
Additionally, the Affidavit of James J. Graham does not address the illegality
of the alleged contract(s) for failure to have the disclosures required by the Texas
Election Code§ 255.001.
A defendant cannot be held liable for tortious interference with a contract that
is unenforceable because it is illegal. See Flynn Bros. V. First Med. Assocs., 715
S.W.2d 782, 785 (Tex. App.-Dallas 1986, writ refd. n.r.e.). A contract is illegal
if the contract or its performance will result in a willful violation of a constitution,
12
statute or ordinance. GNG Gas Systems v. Dean, 921S.W.2d421, 427 (Tex. App.-
Amarillo 1996 writ denied); Araiza v. Chapa, 319 S.W.2d 742, 743 {Tex. App.-
San Antonio 1958, writ refd n.r.e). "A contract to do a thing which cannot be
performed without a violation of the law is void." Lewis v. Davis, 199 S.W.2d 146,
148-49 {Tex. 1947).
In this case, the contracts called for the radio stations to run political
advertisements that violated Texas Election Code 255.001. Texas Election Code
255.001 prohibits a person- including a corporate entity-from broadcasting
political advertising containing express advocacy that does not indicate in the
advertising the following: (1) that it is political advertising; and (2) the full name of
the person who paid for the political advertising. These advertisements ended with
"Proudly paid for by Texas Right to Life." [C.R. at 24, 25, 26]. The scripts of the
advertisements do not contain an acknowledgement that they are, in fact, "political
advertising." [C.R. at 24, 25, 26]. Nor do they contain the full name of the person
who paid for the advertising. [C.R. at 24, 25, 26]. Therefore, the alleged contracts
and the performance thereof, would have resulted in a willful violation of a statute,
the Texas Election Code§ 255.001.
Because the Affidavit of James J. Graham does not address the illegality of
the alleged contracts, it does not provide the clear and specific evidence required to
avoid dismissal. Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem Code§ 27.005(c).

The Affidavit ofJames J. Graham likewise fails to provide clear and specific
evidence with regard to the second and third elements as well.
With regard to the required element that the defendant committed a willful
and intentional act of interference with the contract, the Affidavit only refers to a
hearsay statement:
On or about May 14, 2014, Texas Right to Life Committee, Inc.,
received notice from Cumulus Media and Salem Communications that
agents of Mr. Deuell had contacted them and that they were suspending
the airing of our commercials based upon the legal threats made by Mr.
Deuell.
[C.R. at 96]. This allegation is not only hearsay, but it is not clear and specific about
what individual from either Cumulus Media or Salem Communications sent the
notice. It is not clear and specific about what the form of the notice was. It is not
clear and specific about what individual employee or agent of Texas Right to Life
Committee, Inc. received the notice. It is not specific as to the contents of the notice.
It is not even specific as to the nature of the alleged tortious act. The Affidavit of
James J. Graham does not provide the clear and specific evidence necessary to prove
that Appellant committed a willful and intentional act of interference with any
specific contract and it does not provide the clear and specific evidence required to
avoid dismissal. Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem Code§ 27.005(c).
14
Likewise, the Affidavit ofJames J. Graham fails to provide clear and specific
evidence with regard to the required element that the plaintiff sustained actual
damages or loss. The Affidavit merely contains a conclusory statement that:
Recognizing that Mr. Deuell's interference had disrupted the timing
and effectiveness of the radio advertisements originally contemplated
by Texas Right to Life Committee, Inc., the organization recognized
that it needed to take remedial measures to make up for the lost
advertising time so it contracted with CBS Radio Texas for additional
airtime in the Dallas/Ft Worth media market for the new radio
advertisement. Texas Right to Life Committee, Inc., paid
approximately $15,037 for the placement and airing of the new radio
advertisements with CBS Radio Texas.
[C.R. at 97]. This statement does not provide clear and specific evidence as to how
many times the existing ads did not run. The statement does not provide clear and
specific evidence of the content of the replacement ads. The statement does not
provide clear and specific evidence of the number of times the ads on CBS Radio
Texas were run. The statement does not provide clear and specific evidence that the
ads were targeted in any way to the same audience or time spots that the Cumulus
Media or Salem Communications ads would have reached, in fact, because the ads
were run on different stations, it would be logical to conclude that these ads were
targeted at a different audience.
Therefore, the Affidavit of James J. Graham does not provide the clear and
specific evidence necessary to prove that Appellee sustained any actual damages
required to avoid dismissal. Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem Code § 27 .005(c).
15
Because Appellee cannot carry the burden of showing, by clear and specific
evidence, every element of its tortious interference claim, the Court should have
dismissed Appellee's lawsuit. In connection with the dismissal, the Court should
have awarded attorneys' fees and costs to Appellant as set forth in Texas Civil
Practice & Remedies Code§ 27.009.
2. Appellant's Motion to Dismiss pursuant to Chapter 27 of the Texas Civil
Practice & Remedies Code should have been granted because Appellant
established the affirmative defense of judicial privilege by a
preponderance of the evidence.
Judicial Privilege
Even if the Appellee could establish, by clear and specific evidence, every
element of its tortious interference claim (and it cannot do so), the Court must
dismiss Appellee's lawsuit if Appellant establishes, by a preponderance of the
evidence, each essential element of a valid defense to Appellee's tortious
interference claim. Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code §27.005(d).
The Texas Supreme Court described the judicial privilege in this manner:
"Any communication, oral or written, uttered or published in the due course of a
judicial proceeding is absolutely privileged and cannot constitute the basis of a civil
action in damages for slander or libel. The falsity of the statement or the malice of
the utterer is immaterial, and the rule of nonliability prevails even though the
statement was not relevant, pertinent and material to the issues involved in the case."
16
Reagan v. Guardian Life Ins. Co., 166 S.W.2d 909, 912 (Tex. 1942). The Court
later expanded the scope of the privilege beyond slander and libel. See Bird v.
W.C.W., 868 S.W.2d 767, 771-72 (Tex. 1994) (extending the absolute privilege to
pre-trial proceedings and statements defeating the plaintiffs negligence claim where
plaintiffs damages were basically defamation damages.). "Although most cases
addressing the judicial communications privilege involve claims of libel or slander,
Texas courts have consistently applied the privilege to claims arising out of
communications made in the course of judicial proceedings, regardless of the label
placed on the claim." Laub v. Pesikoff, 979 S.W.2d 686, 690 (Tex. App.- Houston
[1st Dist.] 1998 pet. denied). The judicial immunity recognized in Bird is not limited
only to claims styled as defamation claims, but instead extends to "claims arising
out of communications made in the course of judicial proceedings, regardless of the
label placed on the claim." Crain v. Unauthorized Practice of Law Comm.,
l 1S.W.3d 328, 335 (Tex. App.-Houston [1st Dist.] 1999, pet. denied).
It is well established under Texas law that letters written by attorneys in
anticipation oflitigation are absolutely privileged. See Russell v. Clark, 620 S.W.2d
865, 869 (Tex. App-Dallas 1981, writ refd n.r.e.) "An attorney at law is absolutely
privileged to publish defamatory matter concerning another in communications
preliminary to a proposed judicial proceeding, or in the institution of, or during
the course and as a part of, a judicial proceeding in which he participates as counsel,
17
if it has some relation to the proceeding." Id. (emphasis added); see also Watson v.
Kaminski, 51 S.W.3d 825, 827-28 (Tex. App.- Houston [1st Dist] 2001, no
pet)(holding that an attorney's letter alleging that a prisoner was trying to extort
money from appellants and that he was likely to be sued if he attempted to do so
came within the judicial privilege even though no litigation was pending.); Krishnan
v. Law Offices of Preston Henrichson, P.C., 83 S.W.3d 295, 301-03 (Tex. App.-
Corpus Christi 2002, pet. denied)(finding that an attorney's letters sent to a doctor
to give notice of a negligence claim [under 4590i] and to request records, even
though suit was never actually filed, were made in contemplation of judicial
proceeding and were therefore privileged); Crain v. Smith, 22 S.W.3d 58, 62-63
(Tex. App.-Corpus Christi 2000, no pet.). Even if the potential litigants later
decide not to file suit, "[t]here is no requirement that a person actually get sued for
the privilege to apply; only that the statements are related to a contemplated judicial
proceeding." Krishnan, 83 S.W.3d at 302-03.
Whether a lawyer's out-of-court statement is related to a proposed or
existing judicial proceeding is a question of law to be determined by
the court. When deciding the issue, "the court must consider the entire
communication in its context, and must extend the privilege to any
statement that bears some relation to an existing or proposed judicial
proceeding." All doubt should be resolved in favor of the relevancy of
the statement.
Dallas Ind. Sch. Dist. v. Fin/an, 27 S.W.3d 220, 239 (Tex. App.-Dallas 2000, pet.
denied)(quoting Russell.); see also Daystar Residential, Inc. v. Collmer, 176 S.W.3d
18
24, 28 (Tex. App.- Houston [Pt Dist] 2004, writ denied)(finding that statements
made by a lawyer to a newspaper in contemplation of and preliminary to filing suit
were absolutely privileged).
The absolute judicial privilege applies to tortious interference with contract
claims. See Griffin v. Rowden, 702 S.W.2d 692, 695 (Tex. App.-Dallas 1985, writ
ref d n.r.e)(holding that the filing of a /is pendens was absolutely privileged in an
action for tortious interference with contract.); Crain v. Unauthorized Practice of
Law Committee, 11 S.W.3d 328, 335 (Tex. App.-Houston [Pt Dist.], 1999 pet
denied)( concluding that prior testimony by a witness was subject to the affirmative
defense of absolute immunity to a claim oftortious interference).
In the present case, the communications complained of are demand letters sent
to radio stations. [C.R. at 27-64]. Each of these letters was sent by Scott Tschirhart,
an attorney representing Senator Deuell. [C.R. at 27-64]. Each of these letters
specifically warn of anticipated litigation. [C.R. at 27-64] These letters request if
the recipient will accept service of process or whether suit must be served on their
registered agents. [C.R. at 27-64]. These letters contain notices of litigation hold
and preservation demands, including:
LITIGATION HOLD & PRESERVATION DEMAND
You are hereby on notice and should have reason to believe that
litigation may result from the claims described above ... pursuant to
state and federal law, you are now under a legal duty to preserve all
19
evidence, whether printed or electronic that might become relevant in
this matter...
[C.R. at 27-64]. Finally, these letters include admonitions for the recipients to
contact their legal counsel immediately. [C.R. at 27-64].
Since the communications complained of are clearly demand letters sent from
an attorney in anticipation of litigation, '"the court must consider the entire
communication in its context, and must extend the privilege to any statement that
bears some relation to an existing or proposed judicial proceeding.' All doubt should
be resolved in favor of the relevancy of the statement." Dallas Ind. Sch. Dist. v.
Fin/an, 27 S.W.3d 220, 239 (Tex. App.-Dallas 2000, pet. denied).
Appellee has offered no controverting evidence, and in its Response to
Appellant's Motion to Dismiss, Appellee failed to address the judicial privilege
defense in any way. [C.R. at 90].
In determining whether a legal action should be dismissed under this
chapter, the court shall consider the pleadings and supporting and
opposing affidavits stating the facts on which the liability or defense is
based.
Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code §27.006(a).
Since, there are no challenges to the pleadings or controverting affidavits on
file with regard to the defense of judicial privilege, Appellant has established, by a
preponderance of the evidence, each essential element of a valid defense of judicial
20
privilege to Appellee's tortious interference claim. Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code
§27.005(d).
The court should have dismissed Appellee's lawsuit and this Court should
likewise dismiss Appellee's lawsuit. In connection with the dismissal, the Court
should award attorneys' fees and costs to Appellant as set forth in Texas Civil
Practice & Remedies Code § 27.009 or remand the case back to the trial court to
make a determination of the proper measure of attorneys' fees and costs to be
awarded to Appellant.
3. Appellant's Motion to Dismiss pursuant to Chapter 27 of the Texas Civil
Practice & Remedies Code should have been granted because Appellant
established the affirmative defense of illegal contract by a preponderance
of the evidence.
Illegal Contract
Even if the Appellee could establish, by clear and specific evidence, every
element of its tortious interference claim (and it cannot do so), the Court must
dismiss Appellee's lawsuit if Appellant establishes, by a preponderance of the
evidence, each essential element of a valid defense to Appellee's tortious
interference claim. Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code §27.005(d).
A defendant cannot be held liable for tortious interference with a contract that
is unenforceable because it is illegal. See Flynn Bros. V. First Med. Assocs., 715
S.W.2d 782, 785 (Tex. App.-Dallas 1986, writ refd. n.r.e.). A contract is illegal
21
if the contract or its performance will result in a willful violation of a constitution,
statute or ordinance. GNG Gas Systems v. Dean, 921S.W.2d421, 427 {Tex. App.-
Amarillo 1996 writ denied); Araiza v. Chapa, 319 S.W.2d 742, 743 {Tex. App.-
San Antonio 1958, writ ref'd n.r.e). "A contract to do a thing which cannot be
performed without a violation of the law is void." Lewis v. Davis, 199 S.W.2d 146,
148-49 {Tex. 1947).
In this case, the contracts called for the radio stations to run political
advertisements that violated Texas Election Code §255.001. Texas Election Code
255.001 prohibits a person-including a corporate entity- from broadcasting
political advertising containing express advocacy that does not indicate in the
advertising the following: (1) that it is political advertising; and (2) the full name of
the person who paid for the political advertising. These advertisements ended with
"Proudly paid for by Texas Right to Life." [C.R. at 24, 25, 26]. The scripts of the
advertisements do not contain an acknowledgement that they are, in fact, "political
advertising." [C.R. at 24, 25, 26]. Therefore, the alleged contracts and the
performance thereof, would have resulted in a willful violation of a statute, the Texas
Election Code. After the letters dated May 19, 2014 (which specifically complained
about the violation of the Texas Election Code) were sent, the scripts of the
advertisements were changed to include language that complied with the Texas
Election Code and no further letters were sent to the radio stations. [C.R. at 65-66].
22
Appellee has offered no controverting evidence, and in its Response to
Appellant's Motion to Dismiss, Appellee failed to address the illegal contract
defense in any way. [C.R. at 90]. Appellee argued for the first time at the hearing
on June 19, 2015 that the Texas Election Code provision was no longer enforceable.
[R.R. at 6, 7]. However,
In determining whether a legal action should be dismissed under this
chapter, the court shall consider the pleadings and supporting and
opposing affidavits stating the facts on which the liability or defense is
based.
Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code §27.006(a).
Since, there are no challenges to the pleadings or controverting affidavits on
file with regard to the defense of illegal contract, Appellant has established, by a
preponderance of the evidence, each essential element of a valid defense of illegal
contract to Appellee's tortious interference claim. Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code
§27.00S(d).
Because the contracts and the performance thereof, would have resulted in a
willful violation of a statute, namely the Texas Election Code, the Court must find
that Appellant has established, by a preponderance of the evidence, that the contracts
were illegal and Appellant has established the affirmative defense of illegality.
Therefore, the Court must dismiss Appellee's lawsuit pursuant to Texas Civil
Practice & Remedies Code §27.00S(d). In connection with the dismissal, the Court
should award attorneys' fees and costs to Appellant as set forth in Texas Civil
23
Practice & Remedies Code § 27.009 or remand the case back to the trial court to
make a determination of the proper measure of attorneys' fees and costs to be
awarded to Appellant.
PRAYER
WHEREFORE PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant Bob Deuell prays the
Court dismiss Appellee's lawsuit pursuant to Appellant's Motion to Dismiss
pursuant to Chapter 27 of the Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code, and award
Appellant his appellate costs and remand the case to the trial court for a
determination of court costs, reasonable attorney's fees, and other expenses incurred
in defending this legal action pursuant to Section 27.009(1) of the Texas Civil
Practice & Remedies Code as well as sanctions against Appellee that the trial court
may determine would be sufficient to deter Appellee from bringing similar actions
in the future pursuant to Section 27 .009(2) of the Texas Civil Practice & Remedies
Code and for such further relief to which Appellant is justly entitled.
